We work so hard each day, we give it our all, and for what? For a company that uses us up without recognition, steps all over us instead of rewarding our work, and then discards so many of its best like yesterday's trash. HON lost all of its core... — read more
HON Stock at all time high, yet everyone is still complaining?
How do you explain this? HON stock will be at $250 before EOD, if you hold stock you should be in a very good position. We are adding headcount, sales are going up, etc. And yet, people are not happy - why is this happening? One would asssume that... — read more

Honeywell just does this quietly by filtering resumes
Honeywell does this every single day. Smart enough not to say it out loud. https://cnsnews.com/article/business/rob-shimshock/media-giant-iheart-we-are-looking-only-diverse-hires-time Hey Honeywell… stand up on CNN and say out loud. “we... — read more
iManage still on?
Is that farcical iManage thing still on? At least a few very good managers were "managed out" of their respective organizations back in late 2019.
Shutdown week for Minneapolis ?
Hearing rumors of a shutdown week. Is there a furlough for manufacturing this summer?
Sense of dread
Why do I feel such a sense of dread approaching mid year reviews this year. I have always had good reviews but feel different this year. Apparently there was some requirement to start having career conversations. I was half expecting HR to be on... — read more
Working on autopilot?
Leadership tolerance of unethical/ borderline unethical business practices. Arrogance at the top and in other key managerial positions. Unattainable business goals. No concern by leadership about losing talented employees, including WFH... — read more
I don't get some folks
A coworker who was laid off in the last round still sings the praises of Honeywell. For him, it was unfortunate that he was affected but he didn't see it as anything personal. He was satisfied with his job before that and he claims being laid off... — read more
Admired and respected companies
We have all seen the emails about surveys naming Honeywell as one of the world's most admired and respected companies. Where does Honeywell stand in a survey of the most corrupt and loathed companies?
What was going on around me?
I retired about a year ago. In my 30+ years I always got good reviews,,,,until the final one. Something changed. My boss turned into a monster. He would use harsh, demeaning statements at our monthly one on one. He would make up allegations... — read more
So jealous of the quantum group. Congrats
Free of honeywell and working something new. Best wishes.
If you are looking to leave, what is the main reason?
I'm wondering what's the main reason why so many people are leaving or looking to leave Honeywell right now. For those who are in that group, do you mind sharing the main reason? Is it the lack of job security? The lack of proper pay raises? Lousy... — read more
Maybe in addition to vision they also lack courage?
HW needs a road map. Without vision this company is going nowhere. Vision should be bold, vivid and concrete, however, leadership is planned only from quarter to quarter. The vision forward is only one quarter. Maybe they should take some bolder... — read more
This is how you survive this place
Make sure you do your job and do it well. Take pride in what you have accomplished, but make sure never to do any extra work or never to add any undue stress. It is not worth it. Keep your head down and just focus on yourself. The first chance you... — read more
Olden Days
It seems that they are doing this ALL WRONG! It is the "Old Timers" (north of 55) who, for the most part, are what is NEEDED to keep HW afloat. We, myself included, have that old school mentality to show up for work everyday, on time, do quality... — read more
How to tell HON is completely messed up
You KNOW things are bad when people have two fears: one is of being laid off and another of NOT being laid off. I can't tell you how many people have told me they are terrified of being laid off but they are still hoping their name is on the next... — read more

Let’s talk about a real issue: strategies to punish bad leadership
I am not predisposed to complaining. Leadership at Honeywell is making decisions that destroy morale and harm Honeywell’s ability to execute. They could choose to simply say what they intend to do and tell people to leave or stay. Instead they... — read more
Losing friends
When you’ve been here for years your coworkers end up being your friends outside of work. But when layoffs happen that seems to change. I've lost count of people I used to hang out regularly with who stopped returning my calls after they've been laid... — read more

Managers scrambling over return to office
My mgr has been too busy to talk for weeks. I get the sense that mgrs know this return is going to be a mess. They had a year to fix the outdated open office plan disaster. Now they have no answers to basic questions.
The final result of such management?
Consolidate sites, move work to EM, contract manufacturing = fewer US Hon badge employees. The goal still remains - pay less for labor. This has priority over anything else. Second, reduce inventory. I wonder what the long-term results of this... — read more

Can we go just a few days without layoffs/closings?
Constant layoffs news and closing announcements are getting rather exhausting. There's no break, no time to recuperate. Every week it's something new. With all of that, I'm surprised morale is not even worse than it is. It's really hard to keep it... — read more

How marketable are your skills?
I’ve been looking for a new job for too long, and it’s getting less and less bearable here, so I’m pretty frustrated. I regret that I allowed myself to stay at HW for so long, because I think that is one of the big reasons why I don't have... — read more
Are there any good managers left?
As far as I can see the good ones are long gone, and literally everyone that I keep in touch with from other organizations has low opinions about the managers. Is there anyone that is satisfied with their manager?
This has happened before and will happen again.
